Probably best not to count the wedding present

The friends I know who did it were very clear that they didn't want wedding presents, since as far as they were concerned travelling to their wedding was a wedding present from the guests. I agree with them on that and would think it fairly obnoxious to expect a present on top of attending.
Well yes they do very much get a holiday out of it - perhaps we have different definitions of "holiday"?
Well they don't get a holiday *out of it*, they're forced to use both their vacation time and vacation money for it, and that's not even counting the wedding present. I think it's really irresponsible to ask other people to spend money like that, unless everyone you want at your wedding is loaded and would not mind.

Sorry, but you shouldn't have just assumed you were invited. *NM*

If you don't want drama, don't invite family. Seriously, listen to the voice of experience here. *NM*

How can you *not* invite family? Family is all that matters. *NM*

That entirely depends on how you define family.

In your opinion. For me, as an example, it is the people I care for and respect that matter.

I asked my fiancé on a day I'd planned for quite a few months, but then ruined a couple of weeks
